The photographic processes for this installation (cyanotype, solargraphy, chlorophyll prints, and lomography) were chosen to symbolize the values of the life we live in community.

Day-to-day, what one person might consider mundane might be a major victory for another. The photographic processes are pared down and inclusive; they are also processes that require time and patience. It can takes 2-3 days for one image to be created.
